Glad to hear that, but sorry it wasn't accurate.

It does sound like some sort of infection, as opposed to root issues, so now
we just have to determine the cause....

On the assumption that the potting medium is consistent between the

months since repotting, I would think it's safe to rule out root issues.

I'd speculate that you're seeing a bacterial or fungal infection that
originated from water standing in the leaf axils - the little "cups"
they
make where they attach to the plant.

You're probably going to lose those leaves altogether, but if kept dry,
especially at night, I would not anticipate further issues.

I have seven phals. All in the same place and all doing extremely
well, except for one.

This one is losing two large leaves. The are not the oldest leaves,
which is what concerns me most. It has seven leaves. Four are very
large (one is almost all yellow and another is starting to turn
yellow). The remaining three leaves are smaller and at least one is
relatively new.

This plant has already bloomed twice. Last time it was growing a
flower spike I repotted it with all new bark and moss in a slightly
larger pot. That was about 6 months ago. It bloomed beautifully and
did very well.

All the other phals are doing great. One is going to bloom for the
third time and two others are in full bloom now.

Is there anything I can do to save this plant?

Thanks

Thanks for the reply Ray. It was a reasonable guess, but actually I'm
always very careful not to get the leaves wet.

OK. Any ideas how? As I said my other six phals are in great shape.
Should I isolate the one with the green leaves? The problem with
doing that is there is no other place in the house where these plants
will grow so moving it ensures it's demise.
